Article changes 76 there 78 of the federal labor law (LFT) establish that 12 days of paid rest correspond from the moment a worker reaches one year of seniority. The reforms that were approved in December 2022 in the Senate are also called “decent holidays”.

In this regard, the LFT note that this change is only implemented from the January 2023 From. In addition, the new official provision applies to individual and collective contracts, in force when the reform comes into force. These new considerations for workers were intended to improve the legislation that had kept Section 76 intact for 52 years.

Calculating the number of days for each year worked can be confusing due to the new changes. For this reason, we remind you Or check out the reform that stipulates decent days off for seniority and how you can take a break paid in accordance with the provisions of the LFT.

CFT reform came into effect in the past January 1st. The so-called decent leaves apply to workers who can prove one year’s seniority at the start of this 2023, i.e. they will have access to the 12 days stipulated in the new modification. The law also states that an employee can take the continuous vacation period.

The amendments to the LFT also provide that a worker will have the right to take 32 days on vacation if you complete 31 years of work. These periods can be consulted in the publication of the DOF of the December 27, 2022, where it is explained that the annual period of paid leave is 12 days. From the sixth year, it will increase to two days for five years of service.

The above means that after two years from work, 14 days of vacation correspond; three years, 16 days; at four years old; 18 days; at five years old; 20 days. Since sixth in the tenth year there will be 22 days. From 11 to 15 years old; 24 days; from 16 to 20 years, 26 days; 21 to 25 years, 28 days; from 26 to 30 years, 30 days. Finally from 31 to 35 years old; hit 32 days.

Since the reform of the Federal Labor Law (LFT) was unanimously approved in the Senate, during December 2022one of the main issues was how workers could take the vacation periods corresponding to the years worked.

The Senate approved a worthy vacation in December 2022. (Senate).

The coordination of social communication of the Senate has published on its website, in December last yearthe details of the reform also known as the “a decent holiday”. The most important of them specifies that a worker may distribute his vacation days in the manner and in the time required. As a result, no employer will be able to influence the decision of employees as to the way in which they will take the corresponding leave.

The president of the Labor and Social Welfare Commission, Napoleón Gómez Urrutia, explained that this reform responds to the needs of workers who, for the past 52 years, had no six days annual rest. However, the reform of the 12 days of vacation is still insufficient in the world, since the International Labor Organization recommends 18 days of rest for the first year of work.
